This location is super nice. They greet you as you walk in. The equipment is well maintained and they have multiple machines. They also have kettle bells, medicine balls, dumbbells,and the large inflatable balls. Regular weight machine and free weight machines are available and there is also a platform for the Olympic lifts.The pool is on another level. It is salt water, so much nicer. There is always at least 2 lanes for lap swimming and that number go up to 6.30 minutes wait period for any cardio during peak times. Same for the pool lap lanes.Such a nice Y. The nicest I've been to.

What I love about this Y location is that it is not large but has plenty of space and all the equipment you are looking for. Also, I have worked out in the morning, late morning, early and late afternoon and it has never been overly busy (such a plus). Very friendly staff and clean locker rooms. I wish they had more yoga/group exercise sessions and less kids running around, but that just reflects my own lifestyle and life situation. Go on the monthly group hikes with Ellen they are laid-back and an enjoyable time!

Love this location. I don't mind the sort of older overall look of things if it means more money goes to more class options, instructors and more nicer and newer equipment. My issue is the location of child watch. The children are up front and obvious when you walk in the door. The machines in the front left as you walk in the front doors face away from the door. I can understand why this was done for a few reasons, however, from a safety standpoint this is unsafe. And the child watch room is open and spacious, but it's a major safety concern. I signed up here for a few months and the staff is awesome!! But I won't be returning until/unless the child watch area is moved to a more private and less obvious location. We live amongst deranged lunatics every single day. People do horrific, terrible unspeakable things and I can't bring my children to this gym and feel that they're safe and protected from evil. I sincerely hope that never happens here, it's very unlikely that it would. But it doesn't make me feel secure knowing my children are up front and easily open to danger. If someone walked in the front door with intent to harm others, the children are too exposed. Please consider relocating the child watch to a more secure location, like the West Hills location. Or adding private armed security to ensure everyone stays safe.

Team members discriminated against my disability, made fun of me and recorded videos of me on their phone and made fun of me and endangered the children they were teaching in the pool by dragging one to the deepend to tell me to get out of the way after they told me to get out of there lesson lane which I did. When calmly telling a manager my concern for the child’s safety their response was that I must not fit in there and probably should not come anymore. How Christ like …

Do you want a healthy body? Good facilities and friendly staff, what else do you need for your health? And the price is reasonable. I recommend it for the health of you and your family.

The best part of this Y is the staff. They are so helpful and encouraging. I have tried new classes and each teacher made me feel welcome, helped me get what I needed, and showed me how to do it. Come try it out for yourself!

Love working out here! I feel very comfortable working at my own pace. Staff are always available for assistance if needed. A sauna would be a nice addition here.

We signed up recently for a family pass. We looked through the facility after signing up and there seems to be a decent sized workout area, aquatic facility and private rooms for classes.My rating is lower however because from our short time in the facility it appeared that some of the equipment is damaged (rips and holes) the locker room areas did not appear to be as clean as I would have hoped and overall the feel was that the last update done was in the 90's. This facility seems that it is in desperate need of a face lift.
